Mech Wars The Rise of the Hero in Exile

Chapter 8: Chapter 8



At least since the imperial army's large-scale multipoint landing, the Federal front-line command post in the capital, Galiparan, had been issuing orders without interruption. The major communication and broadcasting stations in the capital have also been calling on the federal citizens of Milock Star to carry out unrestricted resistance. This meant that the capital hadn't been severely damaged yet.

Even if the capital was captured, the continuous mountains around it were ideal hiding places. There was rich vegetation, dense jungles, and a wide variety of wild animals. For Tian Kaiwen, who had received scout training, taking two beautiful women into the mountains, building a tree house in a tree, or finding a cave, and living on wild game and wild vegetables would be a better life than that of a fairy.

After a lewd imagination of a secluded life with one man and two women, the fat guy made up his mind.

"Head north, bypass the enemy's landing base, and then turn east to Galiparan." The fat guy suddenly waved his hand, cheering himself on with a firm tone.

"Galiparan? It's thousands of kilometers away from here!" The female pilot's eyes widened in surprise.

"How are we going to get there?" The innocent-looking female medical staff's big eyes blinked with confusion as she asked, "There are enemies everywhere outside."

"The Gacharin Empire landed simultaneously in over forty cities. Besides the traffic arteries needed to surround the whole city and divide the Federal forces, they don't need to fully control other unoccupied areas." The fat guy thought he had some military talent. His twenty escape experiences in the past half-year had made him very familiar with the imperial army's combat methods. He continued in a positive tone, "These unoccupied areas are too large for them to manage. Their focus is only on our cities and military bases. As long as they keep an eye on these targets, it's enough for them. Without city supplies, no resistance forces could emerge in these desolate areas. They don't care about that."

"And they don't have enough troops either." The fat guy said, thinking as he spoke and becoming more and more clear about the overall situation. "They need to control the four colonized planets in the Galileo Galaxy and Milock II in the Newton Galaxy that they've already occupied. These five planets take up the majority of their ground troops. This planet should be the end point of the Gacharin Empire's campaign this time. It's too short a time. To fully control these six colonized planets, they need time."

"Previously, they would choose to land forcefully in the most important cities on the planet, tear the defenses between cities on the whole planet into several unconnected parts, and then carry out a full-scale landing, using their superior forces to surround the colonized cities from all directions. But this time, their full-scale landing was only aimed at forty out of the over sixty cities. This shows that they don't have enough troops, or their follow - up troops are still on the way and can't attack all the cities during the airborne operation." The fat guy affirmed his reasoning and reached a shocking inference.

He didn't continue. This inference made his hair stand on end. "Such a landing can only be maximally guaranteed under the condition of precise strikes on ground troops and defense bases. Precise destruction of ground defenses and then using the least number of troops to surround and occupy cities. There are many bases hidden underground or in the mountains, but without exception, they've all been destroyed. The two space fleets responsible for the defense of the Galileo Galaxy were defeated too quickly, almost collapsing at the first touch. It seems there's a traitor at the federal high level. The military layout maps of the six colonized planets aren't accessible to ordinary people."

Suddenly, the fat guy's newly determined retreat plan began to waver. "Then, what about the defense of the capital, Galiparan?" The fat guy felt extremely gloomy. It was really bothering him, a mechanical repairman, to think about such a profound problem.

"Whatever a mechanical repairman can think of, the High Command can probably think of too!" He comforted himself, thinking his worry was a bit silly.

"But you still haven't told us how to escape from here." The female pilot was getting impatient.

Tian Kaiwen pointed to the destroyed and abandoned mechas of both sides on the battlefield not far away and said, "With the parts of these things, I think we can piece together a vehicle. Now that this place has become an enemy forward base, the base where the giant transport ships landed to the north should gradually be abandoned. Supplies and troops will be transferred to various forward bases like this." He then pointed to the faintly visible mountains in the north and said, "The further north we go, the looser their defenses will be. As long as we have a chance to cross the plain north of the jungle and get into the forest at the foot of the mountains over there, we can get out of the imperial army's control."

"So what do we do now?" The innocent-looking female medical staff asked softly.

"Wait until it gets dark. Let's rest up and then dig a hole together tonight. Hehe, I can't do this alone." After saying that, this shameless guy asked with a lewd look, "Who wants to sleep with me? It's really warm."

The two female soldiers simply ignored the fat guy's flirting. The three of them dug a hole in a bush on the other side of the forest, far from the imperial forward bases, to rest and wait for nightfall. Outside the hole, Tian Kaiwen had a lot of trouble setting up several traps and camouflaging them perfectly with branches.

The three of them huddled together, waiting for it to get dark. Although the fat guy had a sharp tongue, this was his first time being so close to women. With a psychological barrier, he wasn't as brazenly shameless as before. Instead, he tried to press his body against the cave wall, closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep.

The two female soldiers actually didn't have many concerns. Before being saved by the fat guy, they almost didn't dare to think about what would happen to them after being escorted to the base. They knew exactly how they'd be treated—raped and then executed. They might not even survive until the execution. That fear was suffocating.

They didn't know if they had the courage to commit suicide. At least before being saved by the fat guy, they didn't even have the chance.

The moment Tian Kaiwen jumped out of the grass, in their minds, this fat guy, who was a bit simpleminded, fierce, and shameless, had become their backbone.

The disappearance of the escorting soldier triggered a large-scale search in the imperial base as night approached. However, this search ended quickly. The imperial soldiers exchanged knowing glances, communicating their views on this case of disappearance. What could cause a male soldier to disappear while escorting two helpless female soldiers? These two women had nothing to do with them. They were the officers' prey. Some soldiers even felt a bit gleeful.

Even such a cursory search made the fat guy tremble with fear. He pressed his ear against the cave wall, concentrating on catching every tiny sound around him. An imperial soldier approached the bush, but the overgrown branches and thorns quickly made him give up the idea of entering. He carefully examined the outside of the bush, saw no signs of anyone passing by, and then turned away.

The fat guy let out a sigh of relief. When his tense body relaxed, he suddenly realized that two soft bodies were tightly snuggling against him. The contact between his exposed forearm and the female soldiers' skin was tantalizing. The indescribable ecstatic feeling made the virgin fat guy feel like he was in a dream.
